Filtering materials PANION®

Fibrous ion exchangers PANION® are chemically active filtering materials and fibers used for:

• Air purification from toxic gases: substances of basic nature: ammonia, amines; substances of acid nature: HCl, HF, HNO₃, N_XO_Y, SO₂; hard-to-absorb substances: CO, formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide and others. 
• Water purification from any ions, for example: ions of iron, heavy metals (cuprum, arsenic, lead, cadmium, nickel), ions of hardness, nitrates and many other impurities.
• Human protective means for respiratory organs and skin from contact with chemically aggressive substances.

Ion exchange fibers by their nature are spatially-cross-linked fibrous structures with functional groups of acid and (or) base nature, which have chemical properties of granular ion exchangers and at the same time have a number of indisputable advantages.

Advantages of ion exchange materials and fibers PANION®

• High rate of ion exchange and sorption processes (10-100 times higher than that of granular ion exchangers);
• High efficiency of air and water purification at low concentrations of impurities (97 – 100%);
• Effective application in thin filtering layers at high velocity of gas or liquid flow;
• Low resistance of a filtering layer to air or liquid at sorption process;
• High mechanical strength, stability in multiple cycles of sorption – regeneration.

IMT-Filter Company has also produced analogues of many commonly known granular ion-exchange resins.

PANION® has a unique fibrous structure, which makes it possible to obtain a wide variety of textile forms: staple, non-woven needle-punched fabric, cloth, thread, milled fiber etc.

PANION® is used as disposable or regenerable filtering material. It is a key component of automatically working filtering plants for air purification – filters FIF, CF, FIF-CF.

PANION® is the name of a family of new materials currently under extensive development. The properties and applications of many of these materials have not been studied. We invite researches and potential users to cooperate in developing materials and technologies with special properties.
